for what model waldo??
the common one is the one with the big, red horn button in the middle. this was on all GT's until 1969.
the rare (well, they are all rare, but the rarest of rare!!) one is the 1969 jobbie, that has the two black oval's in the middle (like 2ldohc's bonnet badge) and horn buttons were long, thin one in the wheel spokes.
reason i ask is that the 2 are totally different, both in how the boss bolts to the wheel, and the splines in the boss are different as well.
a pic of the boss will tell which wheel you need.
cheers.

That's the late one that PR91 was mentioning - 1969 onwards

just remember waldo, that if brisbellett sells you that wheel that you will also have to change the column as well, as the shaft size and splines are different to the one you have now.
cheers.

Item location is Okayama Prefecture, starting price 45,000 Yen, successful auction price of 50,000 Yen. That used to be around $500 US, but may be several million dollars with the current exchange rate. Can't be quite as much as 14,000 AUD, but maybe 14,000 Canadian Dollars.

I have mixed feelings about the increasing costs of parts like this.
If they were worth nothing, when any of us finishes restoring or building a car, it too would be worth nothing. And if the parts were worth nothing, they would probably be thrown away, instead of offered for sale/offered for purchase.
If they are overly expensive, we can't afford to buy them to put cars back together. But, when we get finished putting one together, it will be worth something, even if just the cost of all the parts added together. Maybe then, I can get an insurance company to pay to repair a damaged car, instead of totaling it out and writing a check for the ridiculously low blue book value.

Hey, If you're the waldo from Queensland ask your old man (Dave waldon) to get in contact with Tom Amos or Warren Degnan from the Isuzu Car Club they might be able to help you out. I'm Warrens brother (Graham) from the club as well, Warren has about 8 Belletts and about 7 import geminis
